Best Answer
A:The Apostle Paul tells us that there was already a Christian community in Rome in the middle of the first century. Furthermore, Emperor Nero blamed the Christians of Rome for the Great Fire. In fact, Rome was the only centre in Western Europe that had a significant Christian population until the end of the third century.

In the fourth century, Emperor Constantine adopted Christianity and did everything possible to encourage Romans to adopt Christianity, even offering every Roman convert a white garment, with twenty pieces of gold. With inducements for converts and growing persecution of the pagan temples, the Christian faith grew rapidly in Rome, but paganism remained the dominant religion.

Theodosius made Christianity the official religion of Rome in 381, which meant that his subjects were required to become Christians.

We do not know when Christianity reached Rome, but Paul's Letter to the Romans shows that there was already a thriving Christian community there by the 50s of the first century CE.
